Juan Cole, The Media as a Security Threat to America
Juan Cole, The Media as a Security Threat to America Call it strange or call it symptomatic. These last weeks, Afghan War commander General David Petraeus has been on a “media blitz.” He’s been giving out interviews as if they were party favors. Yet, as far as I can tell, not a single interviewer has asked him anything like: “General Petraeus, twenty percent of Pakistan, which supposedly harbor
Martin McGuinness has not told the whole truth - bomb victim claim
The son of a man killed in the Claudy bombings has said he does not believe Martin McGuinness has told the whole truth. Gordon Miller, whose father David was killed in the 1972 bombings, also said he did not want to meet the Sinn Fein MP. Mr McGuinness has said he would be prepared to meet the victims' families.

Marc has been following this state secrets issue for a long time, sensing, before some others did, that it was the key to Obama's protection of Bush's torturers and his objective disdain for
Fidel: 'Cuban Model Doesn't Even Work for Us Anymore'
There were many odd things about my recent Havana stopover (apart from the dolphin show, which I'll get to shortly), but one of the most unusual was Fidel Castro's level of self-reflection.
